N2 - Surrounded by zinc: The reaction of [Mo-(GaCp*)6] and Zn(CH3)2 zinc yields the exceptionally high-coordinate title compound (see picture; Mo red, Zn green, C gray). Quantum chemical analysis reveals a unique bonding situation best described as a perfectly sd5 hybridized molybdenum atom with 12 valence electrons engagedin Mo-Zn bonding. Another six electrons are delocalized over the Zn cage, evoking only weak Zn-Zn interactions. (Figure Presented).
